Your solution fails spectacularly in the following ways: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* Ebuild removal |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
* Overlays |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
* Introduction of := dependencies |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* pkg_*rm |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Which brings us back to the "all people with enough knowledge |
| 29 |
already know that this is technically impossible" thing... |
